SECTION 2 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
ThefunctionoftheAS700Desktop Pressure Sealer is todrawunfoldedforms
fromastack, fold themeitheronce or twice,sealthecohesive edges andplacethem
intoa receivingtray. Formscan be 'C', 'Z' or 'V' (eccentric'C' oreccentric 'Z'fold), and
thereisalsoahandfeed facility tosealpre-foldedforms;thisfeature may also beused
toseal a divertedform.
Prior to use for the first time, or after a change of form type the machine can be
calibrated to detect double documents. Subsequently, if more than one form is fed
(eg. two together), these will be diverted into a tray in the top of the machine before
reaching the sealing rollers. The form used for calibration will also be diverted into
this tray (which allows checking of folds and ensures that only a single document was
fed).
A jog facility is provided, which operates the machine in short 'spurts' in order to
help clear forms through the paper path. The area in which the form stops is
highlighted on the control panel; this will be accompanied by an error number, the
description of which may be referenced by using the look-up table in Section 10 of
this document. The display also indicates the forms count when the machine is
running; the counter may be reset to zero at any time, eg. when starting a new job.

SECTION 6 SET UP
6.1 LOADING THE PAPER HOPPER 1. Fan a stack of forms
(max. 250) and align the
edges.
3. Press down on the tray
and load the forms. Ensure
the leading edges are
contacting the chassis.
4. Gently release the tray.
2. Adjust the width of the
side guides to give 1-2mm
(approx, 1/16") clearance
on each side.
6.2 SETTING THE FOLD PLATES
There are 2 fold plates, allowing 'C' (or letter) fold or 'Z' (accordian) fold, either
equal of eccentric. Fold plate 1 is located under the hopper tray and fold plate 2 is
accessed by raising the top cover. If a single ('V') fold only is required, either equal or
eccentric, a no-fold guide is fitted to fold plate 2. See also section 6.2.4 for details on
fold options.
6.2.1 Fold Plate 1
Loosen the knob and
adjust the stop so that
the pointer aligns with
the measurement of the
1st. fold (see section
6.2.4). Retighten the
knob.

AS700 PRESSURE SEALER
6.2.2 Fold Plate 2
Raise the top cover to gain
access to the fold plate. Loosen
the knob and adjust the stop so
that the pointer aligns with the
measurement of the 2nd. fold
(see section 6.2.4). Retighten
the knob and close the cover.
6.2.3 Using the No-Fold Guide
If a single fold is being used, the green no-fold guide must be inserted into fold
plate 2. Also see section 6.2.4 for fold options.
2. Remove the green no-fold guide
from its stored position and insert it into
the gap shown until the lip contacts the
lower edge of the fold plate. Note its
orientation.
1. Raise the top cover.
3. Close the top cover. The machine
is now set up for single fold.
When single fold is no
longer required, remember
to replace the guide in its
stored position.

Single (or Half/'V') Fold
6.2.4 Fold Options
Indicated below are the three types of fold which may be used. Use the arrow
as a guide to which way the paper should be stacked on the tray; normally the
address will be on the same side and at the same end as the arrow. Use the ruler on
the top cover for measuring the folds.
Letter (or Wallet/'C') Fold
Accordian (or 'Z') Fold
This requires the use of the no-fold guide - see
section 6.2.3 on the previous page for details.
Also see the following page for a list of frequently used form sizes.

SECTION 7 HANDFEED OPTION
If required the machine can operate in manual mode, allowing, for example a
single or small number of documents to be processed without setting up the rest of
the machine. This function may also be used for sealing diverted forms.
1. Pre-fold the document by hand to the
required fold lengths (see section 6.2.4 for
fold options), or remove the diverted form
from the diverter tray.
2. Press the handfeed button
on the control panel. The machine
will wait for up to 30 seconds for the
document to be fed.
3. Insert the folded document,
either way round and crease
downwards into the slot in the
top cover.
4. Press the button again for each document as required.
6.3 DOUBLE DOCUMENT CALIBRATION
The first time the machine is run (or if the paper type changes), the form must
be calibrated to measure its size and thickness. Thereafter, if two forms are fed at
the same time, they will be ejected into the top tray before reaching the sealing
rollers.
2. Raise the two rests on
the top cover
1. Ensure that the hopper tray is loaded (see section 6.1).
3. Press the calibration button
on the control panel.
A single folded docu-
ment will be ejected into the top
tray. Check that it consists of only
one sheet.
4. The machine is now ready for use and need not be calibrated again unless the
size or thickness of the form used is changed. The two rests may be left in the raised
position to steady any further double documents that may be ejected.

SECTION 8 OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
After a long period of use, dirt can build up on the fold rollers, and dust can
cause the sensors to become obscured. This will need to be cleaned off to ensure
reliable operation.
8.1 Cleaning the Fold Rollers
The fold rollers should be cleaned using a cloth and the supplied roller cleaning
fluid. Be sure the machine is disconnected from the power source first. To gain
access, raise the top cover and clean the full width and circumference of the three
rollers. Although difficult to roll, they may be rotated by hand.
8.2 Cleaning the Sensors
The optical sensors on the machine consists of two halves, spaced slightly
apart. They should be cleaned using the supplied non-flammable airduster, ensuring
that both halves are cleaned.
Hold Point & Double Document Sensors
Fold rollers
Raise the top cover and depress
the hopper tray (or remove the
hopper by pulling it off the pegs).
Direct the air jet in the gap shown,
in line with the sensors.

8.3 Clearing Paper Jams
If paper jams occur, they can usually be cleared by using the jog button
on the control panel. Jams are most likely to take place in the infeed or fold roller
areas, or in fold plate 1. Raise the top cover, and if the paper is visible and the jam is
obvious, remove the paper. If it cannot be dislodged, close the cover and press the
jog button, which will operate the machine in short bursts. Jams occurring in fold
plate 1 can be cleared by removing the fold plate - lift it upwards to clear the latches
and withdraw the form.
If the jam is internal (eg. in the sealer rollers), the button may have to be
pressed quite a few times to clear the paper. If all attempts to remove the paper fail,
thePFETechnicalSupportDepartment must be contacted (telephone [phone]
1011ext.3010).

plate.
8. Form exits through top tray
but is not a double document.
9. Forms not sealing, or
failing to seal completely.
10. 'Err11' or 'Err21' error
messages occurring.
1. Ensure emergency stop button is not depressed.

3. Ensure hopper tray is properly inserted.
4. Paper type has been changed - recalibrate ma-
chine (see section 6.3).
5. Fold plates not set - see section 6.2.
6. Dirty fold rollers - clean (see section 8)
7. Plate is set too deep for form length - reset the
plate (see section 6.2).
8. Calibration or diverter fault - recalibrate first (see
section6.3)andifthisfails,contacttheTechnical
SupportDepartment.
